A timely reminder…
⚠️ Athlete & Club Safety Reminder ⚠️
Heel ties are a simple but vital piece of rowing safety equipment. Before every training session, athletes and clubs should ensure that heel ties are:
• Securely fastened
• The correct length
• In good condition and free from damage
In the event of a capsize, correctly fitted heel ties are essential in helping athletes exit the boat safely and quickly.
Take a few moments before each session to check your equipment. Athlete safety depends on it.
🚣 Stay safe on the water and make heel tie checks part of your pre-row routine.
